They are very effective against tanks and do heavy damage to infantry as well. However, their slow rate of fire, slow speed and high cost make them vulnerable to groups of rifle infantry. They are, however, more resistant than standard infantry, including grenadiers and flamethrowers. They are also unable to be crushed under tank treads.
